Here you can read his CV:
Born in Italy and precisely in Sulmona (L'Aquila), where I live and work at a large Belgian Multinational company as Technical Manager.
I come from a family of ancient hunting traditions, which has favored my approach to the dog.
The passion for the Boxer originates in 1988 from the meeting with a brindle female named Star owned by a colleague of my brothers' work, the movement combined with her behavioral model trigger a strong curiosity with in me for this particular dog breed, which has impressed and conditioned my life.
It was at that time that I met the famous Judge and Breeder Dr. Paola Micara Watten(Wattwald Boxer), and it was with her that I began a beautiful, exciting, educational adventure, with the good fortune of being able to see and own subjects very close to Carlo Von Henningshof, type and expression that have engraved in my mind the right model of Boxer.
In 1999 my breeding adventure began, which continues continuously to this day.
I exhibited my first Boxer in 1990 and since 1995 I have been breeding with the affix E.N.C.I.- F.C.I. ''dell'Ars Amandi'', an affix that pays homage to one of the greatest figures in the cultural history of the past, such as:
Publio Ovidio Nasone (and his most famous work "the Ars Amatoria") born in Sulmona in 43 A.C.
Since 2000 I have been training as an Expert Exhibition Judge, I was lucky enough to be able to continue my training with Expert Judges of undisputed preparation and competence, such as Dr.Franco Bonetti,Prof. Raffaello Mariotti, Mario Perricone, Baron Renai Della Rena, just to name a few.
Since 2005 I have been judging in Italy and in several countries around the world, Breeding Championships, Important Gatherings and Specials for the Boxer breed, qualified to judge the most representative breeds of Group 2.
-Since 2013 Trainer Judge for the Boxer breed E.N.C.I. – B.C.I.
- In 2016 Judge at the ATIBOX World Championship in Rogla (SI)
-In 2016 he was a judge at the Birmingham Championship of the Midland Boxer Club, scoring points for Cruft (UK).
-In 2018 Judge at the Boxer Special - ENCI WINNER - Milan.
-Expert Judge for CAE-1 certification (test for obedience responsiveness and stable temperament of Good Citizen dogs and owners). E.N.C.I.
-Speaker in E.N.C.I. Courses for the Training of new Dog Educators and Handlers.
member of the Chietino Dog Group E.N.C.I.
member of the Sagittario Sangro Dog Group E.N.C.I.
National Delegate of the B.C.I. liaison to the Selection Office.
Still passionately and continuously engaged in the study of the dog, in particular on the Biomechanics of movement, my study aims to analyze the movement of the dog in the most analytical way possible In order to put aside the subjectivity of the observer, the road is long but it is beautiful.

4. WUBOX World show 2024 in Kincsem Lovaspark, Hungary - judge presentation

Ladies and Gentlemens! Let's continue to reveal our Wubox judges!

We are happy to introduce to you our third judge, Mr. Mathias Wolf from Germany, who will be judging FAWN MALES

Here you can read his CV:

Mathias Wolf discovered the Boxer for the first time in 1995 at a dog show in Munich and after some research he knew: The Boxer is the right breed for him!

His first boxer was Barbie von der Bismarcksäule, a daughter of Nando von der Flachswiese. In 1995 he joined the Boxer-Klub e.V. based in Munich and made his first exhibition and work experiences with Barbie.

In 1998 he began his time as a demonstrator at exhibitions. As a dog handler of Zoff from the house of Rehberg, a great love and for Mathias unique story began: Zoff became a very successful show dog and father of many litters, including the first litter with Barbie from his now protected kennel "vom Schwanenschloss". To date, he has bred 39 litters, including several multi-champions such as Caos, Coco-Chanel, Godewind, Naomi-Campbell and Olivia from Swan Castle. Godewind still brings a lot of joy to the whole Wolf family at just under 14 1/2 years old.

At Boxer-Klub e.V. He has held various positions, including group chairman, training warden, breed warden, national group treasurer and national group chairman. He was a member of the AZKW (Committee for Breeding and Licensing) for 9 years, including 5 years as the responsible licensing master. Mathias was appointed in 2012, after successful training, as a breeding judge for German boxers. Since 2015 he has been a licensing master and since 2016 a teaching judge for candidates for breeding judges or licensing masters.

In 2018 he had the honor of judging the brindle males at the Atibox World Exhibition. Internationally, he has now judged in 13 different countries. He particularly enjoys working abroad. A look beyond the horizon, so to speak, that continues to educate. In recent years, it has organized annual winners' exhibitions in eight countries.

One of his special personal interests are his two seminars "Functionality Building German Boxers" and "The Boxer Begins at the Head". Since 2016, more than 1500 participants have taken part in Mathias seminars. The last seminar took place in October 2023 at the Annual Winner USA in Clements/San Francisco Area. The next one is planned for June 2024 in Somo/Spain. Mathias is particularly proud to have had a positive influence on boxer breeding over the past 17 years with his self-bred stud dogs living in his house with 175 mating acts. First and foremost Atibox veterans winner Caos vom Schwanenschloss with 63 mating acts followed by his son Godewind vom Schwanenschloss with 38 mating acts and Design and Focus vom Schwanenschloss with a total of 15 mating acts. In 2015 Mathias bought for his son Elijah the male Keane ze Zeme lva, which comes from Czech breeding, with a lot of Italian blood. A sensible decision for breeding. Keane now has 59 mating acts records with very healthy offspring. One of the few living current males with licensing, status Körung A, and twice successful participation in the German Youth Championship for work with Elijah.

Now I’m looking forward and proud to be a judge at the WUBOX 2024 in the wonderful Hungary.

3rd WUBOX Show in Fontvieille

by Oliver Erat (WUBOX Chairman)

After Italy and Germany, the 3rd WUBOX Show took place in Fontvieille in the south of France during the 1st weekend of May. After two WUBOX shows, which were kindly taken over at short notice by Italy and Germany, 2023 France now had the opportunity to organise this WUBOX show again with adequate lead time.
And, let me say in advance: The French Boxer Club with President Pascal Trefilieff and the local group with Simone and Francois Casajust and their team succeeded brilliantly.

The show ground were in a sports stadium with well kept lawns, allmost all exhibitros hat shaded parking spaces and the entry checks went smoothly and without weiting times. So, ideal conditions conditions were created for more than 380 Boxer entered.

The international team of judges, consiting of Maria Pontanilla (Spain), Andrea Cucnik (Slovenia), Marco Nugnes (Italy) and Pascal Trefilieff (France) started on Saturday, under best weather conditions, with the judging of the Boxer, assigned to them.

The final placing took place as usual in the afternoon in the ring of honour. Also here: Everything went smoothly and after the appropriate chip control in the pre-ring, the placings and the warding of titles started.

The Gala Dinner on Saturday evening exceeded all expaectations. The Banquett hall was filled to capacity and so Boxer friends from all over Europe celebrated old and new friendships with excellent dinner and flamenco-dancing.

On Sunday, the same high quality of organisation continued as on Saturday. It was a pleasure to be able to admire the many beautiful representatives of the breed during extensive gait checks in the ring of honour in the afternoon.

What remains is an unforgettable WUBOX weekend where Boxer friends form all over Europe celebrated together, sholder to shoulder, the visionsand the joy for our beloved breed.

WUBOX Show 2023: Thank you France

WUBOX Show 2023
on 06./07. May 2023 in Fontvieille (France)

Dear Boxer friends,
The WUBOX Executive Board would like to thank the French Boxer friends for organising the 3rd WUBOX World Show in Fontvieille. They did an excellent job in the preparation as well as in the execution of the event. The Gala Dinner was also a highlight. With about 380 boxers, this 3rd WUBOX Show 2023 was a great success, an advertisement for Boxer and recognition for the work of the organisers and the WUBOX in friendly and respectful cooperation of the WUBOX countries. That is what WUBOX is all about!
Personally, I very much regret that I could not be present for private reasons. I would have loved to come to France. But sometimes fate destroys our plans. Unfortunately, no offical substitute could be found for me at short notice. I apologise and ask for your understanding. The Boxer Klub München would therefore like to congratulate the French Boxer friends on the successful event. We will continue to support the idea and work of the WUBOX with our best efforts.

The list of results will be published as soon as possible.

3. WUBOX World show 2023 in Fontvieille, France - judges

Mr. Pascal TRIFILIEFF, France - judge for all brindle females

First, please excuse my bad English!

I live in France. I worked for Royal Canin until the end of last year and I spend a lot of time for the French Boxer Club too and now Wubox.

I have done my first Boxer litter more than 30 years ago now (Belemnite kennel), despite I am not that old!!!

Since that time, I never stop breeding, looking for bloodlines, going to shows all over the world to understand the Boxer.

I like the Boxer powerful but very elegant, with that so important Boxer expression on his face. The body should be strong with perfect angulations to have a beautiful movement.

I had some success in breeding with Cyrius de Bellemanie (Atibox young champion and best in show), G’M de Bellemanie (multi European champion), Gucci, Email, Birdie, Picasso, Nick……..

I still breed today but my wife does most of the work (thank you Sophie !) because I devote myself more in judging. I judge until 2009, 6 to 8 times per year minimum.

I have been judging in France (two times the championship) of course, but also in Spain (Championship and Cacib), Czech Republic, Latvia, England, USA, Finland, Norway, Denmark….

I think it is very interesting to judge in different countries and see different way of breeding boxers and meet so different and interesting people.

3. WUBOX World show 2023 in Fontvieille, France - judges

Mrs. Maria H. Pontanilla Martinez (Spain) - judge for all fawn females

Born in Pontevedra, May 15, 1975I had my first boxer when I was thirteen, I started with a brindle female who had many character but balanced. Thanks to her, I acquired my first knowledge not only in the breed but in the dog in general. I got my first litter in 1992 when I was 17 and the second litter in 1994. That’s where I got it began my first experiences as a spectator in dog shows in Galicia and Portugal. In 1997, I acquired a female who became the base of mom breeding, Alanis de Vagalume, daughter of Ch. Neòn V. Hause Rehberg and Voska dels Segadors. In January 1998, I obtained my affix “de las Gárgolas” from the Real Sociedad Canina of Spain.

Breeder of the breed with much requirement by studying it with much seriousness and with clear ideas, I became a fan of selective breeding. In my case, it remained familial because I have never done more than one litter a year trying to choose the best options of the blood currents present without necessarily going to fetch the stallions fashion. My goal was to be as sincere as possible with race. This allowed me to do with dogs from my cattery such as CH. J Club BCE, Conrado de las Gárgolas, followed by the Champion of Spain and young of the club BCE Ingrid de las Gárgolas then later CH.J. Júpiter and Jóga de la Gárgololas or direct descendants, with whom I was able to make many national and international championships.

Ring commissioner from the age of 17 in my native Galicia and nationally. In 2000, I passed the exam of exhibition ring curator. In 2006, I also did 3 times ring Commissioner in the organization of ZTP á Orense. In 2006, I conducted a course of upgrade to make ring curator in all exhibitions. In 2007, I got presented to the national competition judge examination of the Real Sociedad Canina of Spain, where I have passed the 8 necessary competitions to stand for the examination of national judge of the race boxer, which I did in 2011. In 2013, I was appointed an international judge and I obtained also extensions for judging Doberman and Sharpei. The Boxer Club of Spain appointed me as a race judge in 2019. Since 2000, I have been able to organize many regionals in Galicia, events of socializing, and classes on the boxer race.

Spokesperson of the Société Canine de Galega and member of the Boxer Club of Spain as Secretary in 2007 for 8 years, during which I had the honour of organizing many national breeding and pride to be in the organization of the Atibox of Santa Perpetua de Mogoda (Barcelona) in 2009 where we broke the participation record with the presence of more than 850 boxers.

Always attentive to the evolution of the breed both in Spain and abroad in participating in many boxing events, both as an exhibitor or spectators, such as Italian championship, Europasieger, Portuguese championship and Atibox. Boxer judge in various countries, Italy, France, Czech Republic, Spain…

In 2018, I judged my first championship of the Boxer Club of Spain, celebrated in Yuncos (TOLEDE) which grants the first obligatory point to obtain the title of champion spanish.

I am currently a member of the Commission of the Real Sociedad Canina of Spain where I am responsible for the organization of all competitions and exhibitions at CAC in the national territory.

The WUBOX countries met in a video conference on Saturday, February 6th, 2021. Of course, the WUBOX events in 2021 (WUBOX IGP International Championship / WUBOX International Show / WUBOX IFH International Championship) were also a topic.
In view of the still incalculable development with regard to restrictive measures in connection with the corona pandemic in Europe, the following decisions were made:

1.
The WUBOX IGP championship planned for April 16-18, 2021 in Germany (Göttingen) will be postponed to August 20-22, 2021. The venue remains Göttingen.

2.
The International WUBOX Show, planned for 30.04. - 02.05.2021, will be postponed to June for the time being. Should the circumstances make an international show impossible in June, an alternative date should be fixed in autumn 2021. Italy remains the organizer. The location is still to be determined.

3.
We assume and hope, that the WUBOX IFH Championship can take place as planned from November 12-14, 2021 in Austria (Gresten).

Stay healthy and we hope, we can meet us soon!
